Hi Stephane,
most of my customers go for the 3-system landscape on the BO side so it is aligned with the BW landscape being also 3-layered. Having a 3-2 layer landscape will have a small overhead when trying to connect to the three backend system from only two front end systems (like having different folders for each connection). This overhead is gone when if you go for a 3-3 landscape.
Do you really connect to BW Dev AND BW QA from your BO DEV? If yes, then a 3-3 Landscape will be better for you.
If you only go straight to BW QA (no need for BW Dev) from BO DEV, then no need for the overhead and 3-2 should be better suited for you.
Best regards,
Victor

System landscape - SAP BO BI onDemand

Hi,
I am unable to find any documentation related how the system landscape is set up in SAP BO BI onDemand.
From the getting started documentation I understand that all the development is done on the web. Does this mean all dev will be done in a development enviroment, transported accross to QA and then to Prod?
Or is this kind of create and use type of environment.
Thanks a lot in advance for clarification.
Thanks,
Sandeep

HI Sandeep,
You are correct, there is really only one site bi.ondemand.com - there is no test site for developing reports and testing them.
You could treat your mystuff folders as testing location. You can develop datasets, visualizations, reports there and share them to individual test users if you wanted. Once they were good, you could publish them to the org side of your account for consumption by all of your normal users.
Cheers

AMS landscape, SAP global tables blocking

Hi all,
we are planning quite few SAP sequential rollouts. It seems that additional AMS system (for bug fixing only) is necessary. So eventually we will have 2 different development systems: Dev for projects and AMS for bug fixing. It is so that this approach requires more discipline of work. Some customizing/development activities should be blocked in Dev but not in AMS and vice versa. The question is u2013 have you ever met such an solution to block all the SAP global tables on a certain SAP system? (to prevent people from modifying it in parallel on both Dev and AMS).
Thank you in advance.
Regards
TT

Hi
It's possible.
2 options
a. You may separate the users and with authorizations using roles/profiles
b. You can lock the system using both SCC4 (client specific) & SE06 (Global Object level)

Reports from SAP BPC NW 7.5

Hi All,
Our Landscape:
SAP ECC EhP1
SAP BW 7.10
SAP BOBJ XI 3.1 (WebI/Crystal/Xcelsius)
SAP BPC NW 7.5
We are new to BPC. We would like to know where do we need to develope the reports on BPC data. Can some one help me on this. If some one have any best practices or options that where we can develope the reports, pls let me know
Like we can do reporting directly on BPC with only couple of reports from BW/BOBJ or all reports from BW/BOBJ.
Here we are planning to use BW as warehouse solution and BOBJ tools for reporitng on BW data.
Thanks,
Bala

Hi Bala,
BPC is a planning & a reporting tool. It can also be used for Consolidation. As mentioned in the previous reply, the data in BW has to be made available in BPC Application (cube) to be able to report it out.
You might need to create transformation files and conversions files between your BW cubes and the BPC cubes to realise the data transfer to BPC application (cube). Note, BPC cubes are automatically generated when you create an application from the BPC front end.
Please refer to some good introductory blogs available on SDN to get to know the BPC terminology and BW terms. Then BPC has an reporting tool in itself. You can create reporting using EVDRE for example which displays the data landed in BPC cubes. This typically will have actual data (loaded from BW), plan data (planned through Input Schedules or flat file data loads).
Hope this give some brief idea.
Thanks

Partner functions for SAP Customer Master

I am in the MDM solution definition phase for SAP Customer Master at one of our Cients place. The requirement is to set up a central master data scenario where creation & modification of any customer record will be done via MDM. The following components of Netweaver are in the landscape - SAP MDM, EP, XI.
I need clarification on the following points -
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
Regards
Arvind

Hi,
Hi Arvind,
- Is it possible to set up the partner function in MDM, if so, how?
Partner Function comes under Condition Technique in SAP ECC.here some config has to be done.
For mapping it in MDM, First create a Qualified Table - Partner Function.Determine the Non-Qualifiers and Qualifiers.Then as said by Suresh, u need Java API stuff to complete this task and frontend being EP.
- Need to replicate the standard SAP functionality where the system can be configured to create Ship To, Payer, Bill To automatically when a Sold To record is created. Is this possible? Are there any work arounds?
It can be done using EP as front end and Java API to dertermine the partner based on the account group.
Thanks,
Felix

SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 upgrade from SAP R/3 4.7 1.10

Dear Experts,
Our client is going to upgrade current landscape SAP R/3 4.7 1.10 to ERP 6.0 EHP4. The Source system O/s is AIX 5.3 and database is db2 8.1. Client procuring new hardware for the target release ERP 6.0 landscape and the O/s is going to be AIX 7.1 and databse would be db2 9.7 FP3.
As part of the upgrade we are going to do initial upgrade in the mock server and vendor is going to provide mock server with AIX 7.1 O/S. Current database size is 100GB, hence we are going to copy the production server data into the mock server using export and import method,
Here my doubt is can i install db9.7 directly and do the import (using compitable kernel)?, insteady of installing source database version 8.1 and later upgrading to db2 9.7 . Please clarify me whether can i go head and install the db2 9.7 and do the system copy using R3load.
Thanks and Regards,
Seshu

Hello,
You can go ahead for IMPORT with DB 9.7.
We completed an OS/DB Migration Project (which involves system copy using EXPORT/IMPORT) and we utilized direct newer version of DB2 on the target during IMPORT.
But please confirm whether the kernel of your release would work fine with DB 9.7 or not. Otherwise, there is no problem in going for higher version of DB2 here.
Small question - Why you want to test the Mock Upgrade on DB2 version which is different than the current version on production server ? Or are you planning to upgrade your current DB2 8 to DB2 9.7 BEFORE the SAP Upgrade on all the servers - then the testing is OK I think (however OS is still the different - Or may be you will go for system copies for this too !)
Thanks

Hi SAP Gurus,
We recently upgraded BI_CONT in our BW landscape(SAP netweaver 7.3) from 7.36 to 7.37
What is the strategy to upgrade BI _CONT or corresponding changes in SAP ECC system(EHP 5).
Currently we don't have BI_CONT installed in our ECC system.
KIndly, let me know how to upgarde BI_CONT related objects.
Earlier we used to use custom extractors and data sources in ECC system for BI_CONT now we business has planned to use all standard data sources.
Question here is do we need to install BI_CONT in SAP ECC and what is the procedure?
Thanks,

How can we edit in standard programe in sap

i want to add new field in one report from standard
so can anybody tell me how i can do in abap.

hi ,
as discussed above. there are 2 ways.
1 .copy program to an zprogram.
2.write code in user exit.
so what is user exit.
i will give u a brief idea . chk this
USER EXITS->
hi
USER EXITS->
1. Introduction:
User exits (Function module exits) are exits developed by SAP.
The exit is implementerd as a call to a functionmodule.
The code for the function module is writeen by the developer.
You are not writing the code directly in the function module,
but in the include that is implemented in the function module.
The naming standard of function modules for functionmodule exits is:
EXIT_<program name><3 digit suffix>
The call to a functionmodule exit is implemented as:
CALL CUSTOMER.-FUNCTION <3 digit suffix>
http://www.sap-img.com/abap/a-short-tutorial-on-user-exits.htm
CUSTOMER EXITS->
As of Release 4.6A SAP provides a new enhancement technique, the Business Add-Ins.
Among others,
this enhancement technique has the advantage of
being based on a multi-level system landscape (SAP, country versions, IS solutions, partner, customer, and so on)
instead of a two-level landscape (SAP, customer) as with the customer exits.
You can create definitions and implementations of business add-ins at any level of the system landscape.
To unify enhancements of the SAP Standard you can migrate customer exits to business add-ins.

Idoc Acknowledgements in SAP PI7.31 Single stack

Hello All,
We are migrating from SAP PI 7.0 to SAP PI7.31 single stack.
in Existing landscape(SAP PI7.0) - sender system ECC is receiving the acknowledgements(ALEAUD) for the idocs sent to PI system where in the port is different i.e. port is receiving back with different Partner Number.
But in SAP PI7.31 single stack, ECC is recieving the acknowledgmenets(ALEAUD) as same as the sender partner number of the idoc sent to PI 7.31 system.
can someone please explain me if it is possible to implement the same functionality as per SAP PI7.0 in SAP PI7.31 single stack as well or is this the Limitation of the product.
Thanks
VR

Hello Experts,
Can someone please suggest me if SAP PI7.31 Single stack can send ALEAUD with different partner number to ECC.
Thank you

PI Landscape

Hello XI experts,
Iam BASIS guy and working on SAP R/3 4.72 to ECC6 upgrade project.I have few tasks which is related to XI7.0 & SAP ECC&R/3 4.72
Let me put like this current landscape
SAP R/3 4.72 - DVE QAS PRD
SAP XI7.0 XD1 XQ1 XWP
Now we are upgrading SAP R/3 4.72 to ECC6 in seperate hardware in parallel ladscape.Copy DVE to another system and different SID ( EC1 ), QAS to (EQ1) and PRD upgrading on same hardware.
So we will have to maintain two landscape parallely till live.And then we will break old source system SAP 4.72 and continue with new systems ECC.
I know as per SAP best practice we need sepearte XI landscape for upgrade landscape instead of same hardware.But customer can not spend money for new hardware and they wanted to go with same hardware.
I will Integrate XD1 to new source system EC1 and similar to QA, but after creating this source system I can see duplicate two technical systems,2 bussiness systems and etc..
After the live we well delete old systems SAP r/3 4.72
How we can handle such type of landscapes? What are the XI activities to perform to use ECC landscape?
Do I need to do any SLD activities like transports and etc..
- Jim

Hi Jim,
You can proceed as below
1) Configure SLD component for new landscape (DEV/QA).
2) re-use design objects.
3) Convigure Directory part for new landscape (Dev/QA).
4) After testing just change yor prod TS for new landscape.
You need to consider below issues.
1) Server sizing and subsequent performance to handle two landscape... otherwise all interface testing will fail.
2) You need to take care of little chaos arise due to this in PI.
one more suggession , go for SAP PI 7.1 ehp 1 for new landscape...

1.One NWDI Server seperate Instance is enough for all Collabarate Devlopment in Both BI Portals and EP Portals Including DEV,QUA,PROD.
2.If we go for 1 NWDI Server for all What is the Hardware requirement is needed .
3.If we go for 1 NWDI Server If More Deployments We will do for SAP ESS/MSS And SAP MI And BI Related Development is any Performance Issues We are facing.
4.If 1 NWDI Server is enough for seperate installtion in Template What are The Componnets We need to select.
5.Is anyway to add NWDI Components to Existing Portals.
I Need How to install NWDI Server on seperate Installation,configure the server with other portals and Develop Webdynpro Applications using the NWDI.
Thanks

YES
2.If we go for 1 NWDI Server for all What is the Hardware requirement is needed
For hardware requirements check note 737368.
3.If we go for 1 NWDI Server If More Deployments We will do for SAP ESS/MSS And SAP MI And BI Related Development is any Performance Issues We are facing.
I Dont think so, because you will be seperating them in tracks.
4.If 1 NWDI Server is enough for seperate installtion in Template What are The Componnets We need to select.

ActiveDirectory - SAP IDM integration in Identity Life cycle Management

Hi Experts
In our landscape SAP HCM is supposed to be the leading data source and SAP IDM takes identity information from SAP HCM. From SAP IDM it will provision into Active directory and other third party systems, Sap systems.
Here are the questions
1) How can we leverage on the investment on Active directory after SAP IDM -Active directory investment ? I mean after SAP IDM comes to a landscape, Active directory will only be used to login to domain and for authentication if for java system Active directory have been set as user data source. What are the other advantages of Active directory- SAP IDM integration as Active directory will not be leading data source and identity information will be in identity store.?
2) After the user details are taken from SAP HCM system, will the user record will be created in SAP IDM on Identity store ? Is it where we actually assign the SAP IDM business role and the related technical role to the user?
3) Suppose if we assign a business role " employee " , will IDM actually create user id in all target system and assign all the technical roles? . Or we have to manually select each repository for target system in Identity center and select the privileges and provision it ? Will there be any automated feature that after assigning the business role to identity in identity store users and roles get automatically provisioned on all the target systems?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Matt,
Thank you very much.
Only change we have is before approval it should go to GRC AC check all the compliance and only after that it is approved and it should come back to SAP IDM .
I am actually looking for a tutorial which actually shows how you assign a business role and the whole procedure of SAP IDM automatically provisioning to target systems which you have just explained. I suppose there is no such exact tutorial and I want to know how we can configure this on SAP IDM . Any specific clues?
Also I am describing the exact steps that will follow . Correct me if I am wrong.
1) User id will be created on AD with same user name and password as it is in Identity store. Will be assigned AD groups
2) Create same user in Portal and make the user data source as AD and will assign the technical role portal as per the business role definition
3) create same user in all abap systems and set abap database as user data source and assign the technical role needed as per the business role definition
4) Create same user in third party systems and with the privileges on their target systems as per the business role definition.
With this provisioning stops. I suppose all the above steps will be automatically done by SAP IDM with no manual interaction required after final approval. Correct me if I am wrong.
So some other information i wanted is
1) When you assign business role at work flow, how exactly SAP IDM know about the target systems that user should be created and assigned roles and made their authentication source.
for eg:- for a business role "employee" should get access to ERP with role X, AD with group Y, Portal with role Z. So in work flow when business role employee is assigned how SAP IDM will know that user should be created on to ERP with role X, AD with group Y, Portal with role Z. Can you explain technically along with detail steps? Or how exactly we configure a business role which knows the target systems and their techical roles.
Thank you once again for the fabulous help . You/Matthew is a tremendous help in understanding SAP IDM better.

GRC Landscape Design

Hello Experts,
Appreciate if you can please share your views on following points about GRC landscape:
SAP recommendations, 3 tier landscape (or at least 2 tier) for GRC Access Control -->
what is the use of having 3 tier landscape >>
a. Will there be any sort of transports from DEV -> QA -> PRD, if yes then what kind of data can be moved from one system to another (rules/risks,etc..)
b. Can we connect QA and PRD to backend SAP and Oracle PRD systems?
How the data flow is from GRC applications to backend systems.
As per my understanding, in RAR and SPM - data flows only from backend system to GRC side but not vice versa (please correct me if i am wrong).
So similar to this, how is the data flow for other applications.
Would highly appreciate if you can share your experiences !!!!
Thanks
Davinder

D P,
Please find my response below:
a. Will there be any sort of transports from DEV -> QA -> PRD, if yes then what kind of data can be moved from one system to another (rules/risks,etc..) You can follow same standard what you have at the client side. You can transfer most of the configuration but not data in CUP and RAR.
b. Can we connect QA and PRD to backend SAP and Oracle PRD systems?
Yes.
How the data flow is from GRC applications to backend systems.
As per my understanding, in RAR and SPM - data flows only from backend system to GRC side but not vice versa (please correct me if i am wrong).
You are right about RAR and SPM. In the case of CUP and ERM, it is vice versa as CUP and ERM provisions users and roles in the SAP backend systems.
So similar to this, how is the data flow for other applications.

Alpesh

Diff between two-level infrastructure and multi-level system landscape

Hi Experts,
Can Anyone explain me what exactly is meant by two-level infrastructure (SAP and customer solutions) and multi-level system landscape (SAP, country-specific versions, industry solutions, partner, customer, and so on) in the below statement
In contrast to customer exits, Business Add-Ins no longer assume a two-level infrastructure (SAP and customer solutions), but instead allow for a multi-level system landscape (SAP, country-specific versions, industry solutions, partner, customer, and so on). You can create definitions and implementations of Business Add-Ins at any level of the system landscape

Hi
The user-exit can be implemented once, i.e. it can be used once: so it can be used to solve a particular customer situation.
The BADI can have several implemantations, so the same BADI can be used several times, and so it can be used to solve problem of customer, for business (so different implemantion for every SAP vertical, for example one for AFS, one for OIL,......), for a specific for a country (it's the case for the FI BADIs used to solve different legal specific of every country where SAP is implemented), .......
